ACTIVITY REGISTRATION FORM

You are cordially invited to submit a proposal to organize an activity for the Peoples’ Global Action on Migration, Development and Human Rights (PGA)which will be held on October 22 – 30, 2008 in Manila, Philippines. The PGA is a parallel civil society event in relation to the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) that is organized by a coalition of civil society organizations both at the local and international levels.  The PGA is independent from the intergovernmental GFMD process. The Parallel Event will bring together migrants, people’s movements, social movements, CSOs and labor unions to discuss migration policies that respect migrants’ and all people’s human rights. It will entail an exploration of the full range of issues involved in migration, including the underlying problems of development, poverty, joblessness, right to mobility and how we can collectively address these.

The PGA Week will include two categories of activities:

  1. Self-Organized Activities or Organization-Specific Activities
